pronounced waste — is an ongoing collection by Alkaline that explores storytelling through discarded materials. Each collection investigates a specific material origin, reimagining waste as a starting point for design rather than an end.
Collection One focuses on demolition waste, transforming fragments of the built environment into functional objects that carry memory, texture, and history. Through casting, experimentation, and a hands-on process, WAYST reframes what is often overlooked into considered pieces that celebrate material, craft, and transformation.
